roxanne, thanks...I will gladly take any scraps off your hands, and Becky's too!

becki, last night I (literally) locked myself in my craft room, turned the CD player on and got to work. I was able to sew the whole thing together, with borders, in a few hours. Like I said before, quilting is my therapy. I've needed a lot of it lately. Everyone in my house has been crabby! So it's not so much a trick as a coping mechanism. :)
